Minecraft:Basalt

Template:For Template:Infobox block Basalt is a Minecraft:block found in Minecraft:the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

Basalt drops as an item if mined by any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Basalt generates naturally as basalt pillars, which are found in the soul sand valley biome. They also generate in the basalt deltas biome as regular terrain and as part of basalt columns. Template:IN, they also generate in blobs, which attempt to replace Minecraft:netherrack 75 times per chunk in blobs of radius 3–7 from levels 0 to 127 in basalt deltas biomes.

Basalt can also be found naturally as part of bastion remnants.

Post-generation

A simple basalt generator

Basalt also generates when Minecraft:lava flows into a space that is on top of soul soil and adjacent to blue ice. The flowing Minecraft:lava is then replaced with basalt.

Usage

Basalt's only current use is as building material. Like Minecraft:logs and quartz pillars, basalt blocks point perpendicular to whatever block face they are placed on.

Note blocks

Basalt can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb basalt, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

History

Trivia

• Geologically, Template:W is a volcanic rock that cools from mafic lava flows. Mafic lava is runny, much like Minecraft:lava in Minecraft:the Nether, and under the right conditions it can cool into the stacks of basalt columns, much like those seen in basalt deltas.
  • Basalt makes up most of Earth's sea floor, as well as Template:W and the Template:W.
• Despite being an extrusive igneous rock, basalt has a lower mining time than Minecraft:granite and Minecraft:diorite, which are intrusive.
• Basalt is the only rock-like block to have both a polished and smooth variant.
